cross reference parts
Oxygen sensor for a Chevy = $20
Oxygen sensor for an Audi = $150 !!!!!
They look the same. Most sensors have a Zirconia element and
operate between 0 and 1 volt.
Does anyone know of a cross-reference between Audi parts and
the more reasonable priced parts available at the local auto parts store?

Re: cross reference parts
You can also buy a generic Bosch sensor for about $40 and crimp the wires to the
Audi plug. Solder can be a problem with the heat in the area.

Re: cross reference parts
From:
http://www.boschusa.com/AutoParts/FAQs/OxygenSensors/
"Q. Except for the connector assembly, aren't all oxygen sensors basically
the same?
A. NO. There are five fundamentally different types of oxygen sensors:
unheated thimble, heated thimble, planar, wide-band and titania. Within each
sensor type, sensors vary in the design of the ceramic element, heater
element and protection tube design, all of which affect sensor operation."
I guess I have an Heated Thimble on my 83 Audi 4000S, a Heated Thimble on my
91 Passat, and a Titania on my 88 Cherokee engine. Now I only need two
more to complete my 5! lol
BTW the website above has a link for instructions on how to install a
universal 02 sensor and also a Vehicle Part Finder link to find the univeral
02 sensor
later,

Re: cross reference parts
Try to find an equivalent VW part. For an A4, go to a VW dealer and buy
part number 06A 906 262 Q, it's about $25 and plugs right in.
